So Floyds fight doing 750K MORE than Pacs fight... is HUGE.
It doesnt have to be 1 million to be a big difference.
Average PPVs are around 300-400k BUYS.
We are talking a difference in 750k.

Not much really.
The Stadium itself was a huge draw.
The tickets weren't that expensive and people wanted to experience boxing in the new stadium people should've expected 45-50 k.
It wont mean anything in the long run.
You put Mosley-Floyd there theyd have to expand the stadium way past 50,000.

This is no jab at Floyd at all, but I don't think 50k people would go to see Floyd fight Clottey. Pacquiao is an action fighter that people who aren't focused solely on the scientific aspect of Boxing can gravitate to. The fight wasn't very exciting, but I think people more than likely would've been leaving by the 7th-8th round if it were Floyd instead of Clottey. Again, it's no diss to Floyd, but that's just the way he fights and how he'd fight Clottey...being safe and just Boxing to a UD. Many expected Pacquiao to give Clottey a beating, but it was more Pacquiao just being aggressive and at least trying to make a fight out of it.
People pay the see Floyd because of the aura he portrays in the media, as well as people wanting to see someone beat him, along with people who genuinely love watching Floyd fight. But without a big dance partner, people aren't jumping through hoops to pay to see him as proven in his last PPV before his big fight with Oscar (which since then have all been promoted by GBP ironically).
